With his third album, singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III would employ a full band, fleshing out his folky songs, rocking the rockers, and giving a little bounce to fun ditties like "Dead Skunk." But 1971's ALBUM II finds Wainwright still in stripped-down, acoustic, coffee shop mode, which suits his intimate, confessional tunes just fine.

Though he suffered comparisons to Bob Dylan, Wainwright is his own stylist: he has an off-hand manner with description, he isn't afraid to show sentiment, and his comedy can be both cutting and charming. The highlight of the album is undoubtedly the witty, desperate, and heartbreaking "Motel Blues," but there's also the silly nod to new fatherhood, "Be Careful There's a Baby in the House," written about Wainwright's new-born son Rufus.Rolling Stone (p.60) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Reared not on rock but on his parents' Broadway-musical LPs and the goofy, theatrical side of Sixties folk, Wainwright sang comically but responsibly..."
No Depression (p.117) - "His humor could be so cynical it forced nervous laughter that was somehow liberating, and his word-pictures could be so precise it was unnerving."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Still Delightful!
This was a favorite album back in the early 1970's and I was pleased to find it on CD to give to one of my teenagers. A quick listen proved that Loudoun's early songs are still short and to the punch, satisfying in their quirky humor and simple performance.

Paul Brody Beyond Babylon CD  (2004)

Album II album
CD $13.35  Audio Samples
On his second album fronting his band Sadawi, trumpeter and composer Paul Brody continues his work in the avant-klezmer trenches, helping to drag that hundred-year-old music kicking and screaming into the 21st century. On Beyond Babylon he shows his unwillingness to be constrained by any ghetto boundaries, opening the album with an extended deconstruction of the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts" (which features a hair-raisingly skronky banjo solo by Brandon Seabrook), and making use of elements of both dub (on the contemplative and lovely "Timepeace"), and rock (note the ...

Never one to tread the expected path, Lucinda Williams followed her big breakthrough album, CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD, with a pair of low-key records full of sad, quiet, fragile songs (interrupted by the occasional barn-burner). LIVE @ THE FILLMORE concentrates heavily on those latter two releases, unleashing all the intense, ...

Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra Fathom This: A Retrospective CD  (1999)

Album II music CDs
CD $12.89  5 stars Audio Samples
Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra includes: Rach Cztar (sopranino, soprano, alto & baritone saxophones); Roxtar (sopranino & soprano saxophones); Kelley Hart-Jenkins, Kristen Strom (soprano & alto saxophones); Dale Mills, John Davis (alto & tenor saxophones); Don Stevens (alto & contrabass saxophones); Art Springs (tenor & bass saxophones); Kevin Stewart, Ann Stamm Merrell (baritone saxophone). Additional personnel includes: James Kassis (marimba, drums); John Shifflet, Larry Grenadier (acoustic bass); Paul Van Wageningen (drums); Ashwin Batish (tablas). All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. The members of the Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra are not unaware of the comic possibilities of a band that plays nothing but saxophones, and all seven varieties, from the 18-inch sopranino to the six-foot, eight-inch contrabass. They exploit those possibilities by filling their repertoire with fruity oldies like "Alabamy Bound," "Sweet Georgia Brown," and "Darktown Strutter's ...

Eric Essix Southbound CD  (2000)

Album II songs
CD $8.99  5 stars Audio Samples
Guitarist Eric Essix gives his listeners a strong dose of smooth Southern hospitality on this excellent release for Zebra Records. Southbound features 11 great tracks inspired by Essix's southern influences, including a great cover of Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" and one of Brook Benton's biggest hits, "A Rainy Night in Georgia." The guitarist wrote five original songs that are realized with the accompaniment of bassist Sean Michael Ray, Lil' John Roberts on drums, and Kelvin Wooten on Wurlitzer electric piano, Hammond B3 organ, Fender Rhodes, and acoustic piano. Guest appearances by Melvin Butler on saxophones and flutes and Darrell Tibbs on percussion round out the core quartet. One of the most inspirational points on the CD is provided by Minister Valerie Harris and the GLC Praise Team on "People Get Ready." The choir does a stirring gospel version of this song that would have made Curtis Mayfield proud. "Camellia" provides the beautification imagery on the CD and Eric Essix has a great solo to go along with it. Together the ...

Kris Kristofferson Country Collection CD  (1998) (Import) Germany

Album II CD music
CD $9.39  4 stars
The title The Country Collection and the album cover, a photograph of Kris Kristofferson taken in the early '70s, might lead you to think that this British compilation is another of the many international best-ofs containing some combination of Kristofferson's best-known Monument recordings of the '70s. Instead, its 20 tracks consist of the complete contents of the singer/songwriter's two Mercury Records albums, 1987's Repossessed and 1990s Third World Warrior, presented in order. Repossessed, which takes up the first ten selections, was Kristofferson's first solo album in six years and demonstrated that he had become much more interested in politics as subject matter, from a left-wing Christian viewpoint. This was expressed most philosophically in the album's first single, "They Killed Him," which equated the assassinations of various twentieth century political figures with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, though even songs that were nominally about love, such as "The Heart" and "Love Is the Way," also seemed more like attempted anthems. This tendency is even more pronounced in the disc's last ten tracks, ...
